Some of all of the Blues

Another step along the way . . Some of All of the Blues.mp3

Have been playing every Friday, my University Research Day. Jamming really, working out the guitars and chop-building with good friend, drummer Bob Peele at his recording and teaching studio here in Brisbane.

One of the instrument projects has been re-building this 1990 made-in-Nashville burgundy Les Paul Custom. [once owned and well-cared for by a elderly musician in Cairns who bought it new].


Has taken just a few late nights and much advice from
My Les Paul Forums - completely re-wired internally, shielded with copper foil; Lindy Fralin 'Pure PAF' pickups, Tonepros/ Graphtech bridge and a great deal of messing with pot values and caps (tone, tone . . ).

In any case, here's one of the rather self-indulgent, but nice free-form blows . . take on Miles' All Blues giving the Les Paul & kit a workout. Some of All of the Blues.
Guitar sounds are though a stereo amp rig: a Fender tweed Hot Rod Deluxe (JJ tubes, Eminence Cannabis Rex hemp cone speaker, and one of the Fromel HRD mod kits), and a Suhr Badger. The board is a Vox Tonelab SE30.

I hope someone enjoys!
